Welcome to the Carolina Kennel Club web site. We were founded in 1938 and are proud to be the oldest kennel club in North Carolina. We became an AKC (conformation authority only) MEMBER club in 1938. In 2000, the CKC added to this membership the authority to also conduct all breed obedience at our shows.

Located in the central part of the state, our membership resides primarily in the Guilford counties. For more than 70 years we have sponsored conformation events for Pure Bred Dogs.

We are dedicated to our community and support local canine rescue and spay/neuter programs. CKC also recognizes it's members' participation in AKC performance events.

Our Objectives

* To further the advancement of all breeds of purebred dogs.

* To do all in its power to protect and advance the interest of all breeds of purebred dogs and encourage sportsmanlike competition at dog shows, obedience trials, and all other AKC events.

* To conduct sanctioned matches, dog shows and obedience trials under the rules of the American Kennel Club, Inc.
